Vino de la tierra

Vino de la tierra is a quality of Spanish wine that designates the rung below the mainstream quality wine classification of denominación de origen protegida (DOP).[1] It is the equivalent of the French vin de pays. It represents a higher quality than table wine, and covers still wine, sparkling wine, and fortified wine. Since 2016 the classification is called indicación geográfica protegida (IGP), but wines can still use the traditional name of vino de la tierra.[1][2] The labels of vino de la tierra wines are allowed to state the year of vintage and the grape varieties used in production.

gollark: No, you need more if you have mods.
gollark: Hmm. After *extensive* research I still have no idea where aiolog could possibly have gotten a free ARM server with those specs which appears to be thingied to Oracle Cloud's network.
gollark: Use MultiMC instead?
gollark: No.
gollark: Waaaait. Most proxying things won't forward ICMP because that would be stupid. So the ARM machine is actually within the Oracle Cloud network somehow or olog is deliberately being tricky with that "ping" there.
